Network coding for automated distributed storage system: adar

This is my BAdvSci(Hons) research project

Please see DEFINITIONS.md and/or SPEC.md for further details and descriptions

Please see SPEC.md

Python 3.10 or later

~ $ git clone https://github.com/theonlytechnohead/adar.git

~ $ cd adar/python/simple_nc-main
~/adar/python/simple_nc-main $ pip install .

~ $ cd adar/python
~/adar/python $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternatively for Windows, in an elevated Powershell prompt (Run as Administrator):

PS > Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Client-ProjFS -NoRestart

~ $ cd adar/python
~/adar/python $ python3 main.py

The mount directory will present itself for file storage

You can run adar on additional computers to pair and connect to them, which will allow the storage to be distributed

Follow the steps above for running from source, verify all is working as expected.

pip install pyinstaller

~ $ cd adar
~/adar $ pyinstaller --onefile python/main.py

The build output will be located in ~/adar/dist
